Letting go of more to find what matters most.

Comfort used to mean abundance: a big sofa, endless hot water, five types of mustard in the fridge.

But vanlife rewrites the script.

It reveals a softer kind of comfort—not born from having, but from being. Being warm enough, fed enough, rested enough. Close enough to nature that your breathing changes. Still enough to hear yourself think.

Enoughness is not minimalism masquerading as sacrifice. It’s a feeling of sufficiency that tugs at your sleeves and says, “You already have what you need.”

You learn to savour:

• A cup of tea made on a single burner
• Warmth from a shared blanket, not central heating
• Clean clothes drying from a tree branch in the breeze

And when discomfort inevitably shows up—a leak, a cold snap, a missed turn—you stop fighting it. You fold it into the day. It becomes part of the story.

Here’s the shift: you stop seeking more, and start seeking meaning. Comfort becomes a by-product of awareness. You get good at noticing. A sunrise counts as wealth. A dry spot to park feels like luck.

At The Sustainable Stop, we explore this reframing not as denial, but delight. Low-impact living isn’t about going without—it’s about going deeper.
